Intercultural communication as a strategy for the rescue of ancestral knowledge and wisdom in harmony with Mother Earth, Mayangna Sauni Bas Indigenous Territory, Siuna RACCN

Abstract

This cultivation, communicating from the worldview of the Mayangna Sauni Bas indigenous people, shares the meaning and significance that the care and protection of Mother Earth has for the people. In the same way, it tells how its population continues to persist with its own forms of intercultural communication as a strategy to live in harmony with other beings, the way in which the environment, customs and traditions for the good living are protected and well cared of those in the present day and future generations. The methodology that guided this path was intercultural action research, governed by the University of the Autonomous Regions of the Nicaraguan Caribbean Coast (URACCAN), through knowledge dialogues, the direct and indirect application of observation, and the use of documents printed and digital that were very useful. Despite the invasion of their territories by settlers, the harvest collects the different forms of communication that the Mayangna people have used ancestrally, and that they still retain, together with the history and meaning that their sacred sites have, and the use of Medicinal plants. The Mayangna Sauni Bas people are caretakers of Mother Earth and responsible for preserving the territory in harmonious environments, as a valuable communal heritage.
